Hi
I'm 25 years old, planning a month long trip all around CR and maybe Belize (not sure yet). I'm want to see as many various places and views in CR, get to know the place because I heard it's got a lot of friendly places and people. I love nature and animals, and especially interested in the cloud forest. I will also like to do some canopy, (a safe one of course) and more adventures of the tourist type. Advice me from your experience about friendly & beautiful places and 'must see' in CR.
Thank you

Hello
I want to recommend a nice place in Costa Rica, which I believe you will enjoy much according to what you looking for. Its called “lands in love”.
It is a very friendly place, the people are most welcoming, and it is located inside an amazing cloud forest like you see in pictures.
Their canopy is very safe, the guides looks professional and you have 3 cables connecting you to the zip line (even my mom wasnt scared).
The people there are all animal and nature lovers, and also vegetarian so I think you will like the place a lot. My family all loved the rooms, very clean and cozy. They even have a coffee maker which is a must for me…;)
Their prices are quite cheap if you are not looking for budget motels, so you can afford many attractions and tours around (the hotel is not far from arenal and all of the attractions there).
Enjoy your trip and tell us how was it.

I felt that CR is quite touristy and even crowded in places, but we were recommended Peninsula de Osa (in the south-west). It's said to have beautiful, uncrowded spots and great nature.

i recommend going to Manuel Antonio beach specially the beaches.
i can reconfim what lucy said about Canopy san lorenzo i had a great timeover there.
i also liked the rafting at rio toro.
